EAM for Food and Beverage
Process manufacturing including food and beverage is an asset-intensive business. That means at the very least, a basic computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) is necessary to capture and manage costs of operating and maintaining your equipment. Greater utility is available through full enterprise asset management (EAM), however. EAM software from IFS will allow you to maximize the return on investment in capital assets like process manufacturing equipment and plants. The same level of traceability and documentation you’ll find in our ERP solutions is present in EAM, and that means that you can more easily comply with audits from FDA, OSHA or other regulators. Manage maintenance projects, lifecycle extensions or refits with embedded enterprise project management functionality.
You can also spot and mitigate risks resulting from equipment condition, and coordinate maintenance and refit work to coincide with lulls in the production schedule.
